Lars Fjeldsoe-Nielsen
Angel · London, England, United Kingdom · 1 investments in Middle East Automotive startups

Lars Fjeldsoe-Nielsen grew up across Africa, from Angola and Guinea-Bissau to Tanzania and Libya, after his family fled the Angolan Civil War as refugees. Those early experiences instilled in him a belief that education, technology, and social innovation can transform lives and continue to anchor his career and philanthropic activities to this day.Today, Lars is a General Partner at Owl Ventures ($2.2 billion AUM), the world’s leading venture capital firm focused exclusively on education technology. He leads Owl’s expansion across Europe, Africa, and global markets, backing founders who harness AI and breakthrough technologies to make learning more accessible and impactful.Before joining Owl, Lars co-founded 2xN, an early-stage fund at the frontier of deeptech and quantum innovation, with standout investments including Quantinuum (valued above $10 billion), Oxford Ionics (acquired by IonQ in a $1 billion deal), QSimulate, and Sparrow Quantum. Prior to that, he was a General Partner at Balderton Capital in London during which time the firm led the Seed and Series A rounds in Revolut. His investments also span education (Labster, uLesson, StudySmarter, Kukua), mobility (Yassir, Voi, Monta, NoTraffic), and mobile and frontier tech (Hiya, Monarch Money, Rahko, Pocket, Colossal, Celus, Octant Bio, Vivino, OpenSea, Blue Bottle Coffee).Lars previously spent a decade in Silicon Valley, shaping some of tech’s most iconic growth stories. At Uber, he joined when it operated in fewer than 20 cities and, as Vice President, forged global alliances with Verizon and América Móvil that fueled its international expansion. Before Uber, as Head of Mobile at Dropbox, he was among the first 25 employees and helped the company reach its first 100 million users through partnerships with Samsung and other OEMs.Despite his career in technology and venture capital, Africa has never left Lars’s journey. After his father’s passing, he returned to Angola to trace his family’s history, discovering that his sister had died of malaria as a child. That revelation transformed a personal loss into a mission. A technologist turned humanitarian innovator, Lars filed a patent for genetically modified mosquitoes that light up when carrying malaria and began funding malaria-research projects in Angola through partnerships with global nonprofits. In 2024, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for malaria research, following earlier campaigns such as climbing the Matterhorn and crossing the Sahara by motorbike.A Danish-Portuguese national who served with the Royal Danish Guards, Lars holds an MBA from London Business School, where he was a member of the Board of Governors and Chairman of the Endowment Fund, an MSc from Oxford University (Keble College), and a BSc from King’s College London. Across every chapter, from refugee to technologist to investor, his purpose endures: advancing education, health, and innovation as catalysts for social change.

  • HipClub — Our first project was conceived HipWay.ru in April 2009, when we, its creators, not for the first time confronted with the problem of organizing your own holiday, we decided to create a project that will be useful for those looking for a fun and unconventional holiday. And thus, in contrast to the large number of already existing at the time oftravel social networks, forums and so on, we will set a goal that will be exactly hipway.ru shop travel, with the possibility of booking and payment online. A year later, in April 2010, appeared hipway.ru - the first project that brings together all the most interesting and unusual travel in one convenient directory, with the possibility of booking and payment online.Immediately after starting hipway.ru ranked sites day rambler.ru, it is absolutely without our knowledge - the unprecedented influx of visitors we have learned from that page hipway.ru opened a few seconds and broke off from the phone calls. Project immediately had to switch to a new server and organizers inspire and start looking for investors. Up to this point the project was funded entirely by private funds.In parallel with the search for an investor we planned to start a second project - hipclub - private club offers a great vacation c exclusive discounts. We gave the project to the development of our IT-team and continued to search for funding.In mid-2010 we were lucky - we got a great project investors - Javier Pérez-Tenessa, founder of eDreams, Michael van Swaaij, former CEO Skype and eBay top manager and several other equally wonderful "business angels". These people are now helping us not only financially, but also valuable advice.In October 2010, we launched hipclub, who became the first Internet cafe, specializing in tourism and leisure. In a short time hipclub not only got wide coverage on the Internet , but also got great reviews from its customers that we are particularly pleased, as it was initially the main task of both projects is to create a travel company with the best customer service.

The operator and passenger of an AIR ONE is enveloped in a safety shell that is composed of layers of redundancy, simplicity, and smart mechanisms. The entire design consists of only eight critical moving components-the eight motors. The AIR ONE is extremely redundant and can remain airborne with the loss of a battery pack, motor, and even wing. Sensors are constantly monitoring the surrounding area and alerting the operator of any potential hazards, increasing situational awareness.Everybody wants to fly. Everybody feels safe driving in a car. But how do you create that level of security and simplicity in a flying platform; let alone trust users to safely operate it without hundreds of hours of flight experience? With layers of redundancy, simplicity, smart, and advanced safety mechanisms, the operator of the AIR ONE is enveloped in a shell of safety. Furthermore, AIR has introduced fly-by-intent technology-a system which understands the pilots intentions based on simple joystick commands and translates them into safe and efficient control movements- taking into account the immediate area and potential hazards. The aircraft is always cross checking itself (internally and externally) and surrounding area for any hazards or faults. Should there be any, the aircraft will simply prompt a landing. There is also a built in ballistic parachute as a last resort.

  • NeuroVision AI Tech — NeuroVision AI Tech Overview As we delve into the realm of generative AI solutions powered by intricate neural networks, a critical question emerges: why do our sophisticated AI systems, capable of processing emotions and behaviors, lack the ability to perceive the world through artificial vision? This disconnect between advanced AI capabilitiesand artificial vision creates a glaring gap, potentially leading to a future where machines, despite their remarkable cognitive prowess, remain unable to fully interact with the physical world. This deficiency could hinder their ability to empathize, navigate complex environments, and truly understand the nuances of human behavior. The integration of artificial vision into advanced AI systems is not merely a matter of technological advancement; it is a fundamental step towards creating truly intelligent machines capable of interacting with the world in a meaningful and impactful way. Just as generative AI has revolutionized our ability to create realistic images, videos, and even text, artificial vision holds the potential to transform our AI systems, enabling them to perceive and understand the world in all its richness and complexity. By bridging the gap between AI's cognitive abilities and its ability to perceive the world, we can unlock a new era of intelligent machines that can truly collaborate with humans, enhancing our lives in countless ways. NeuroVision AI Tech has trained its own custom artificial intelligence model for this purpose. Current models have limitations in customizing real-time image processing and video image processing. Additionally, cloud computing dependencies make it difficult to provide sufficient flexibility for edge computing. FROM YOUR EYES: What We Do NeuroVision AI Tech is an artificial vision company. It develops artificial vision solutions by creating custom AI models that mimic the visual function of the human brain. This technology recognizes, tracks, and categorizes objects and people by processing images from cameras.

To address this, NeuroVision AI Tech has developed its own AI model, trained using a unique dataset containing over 15 million visual data points and over 700 classes. During the development, NeuroVision AI Tech asked, "What does a human biologically need to see?" ensuring the model works closer to human perception and needs. This approach helps humans gain access to technological vision while also making it easier for smart technologies to access artificial vision solutions. NeuroVision AI Tech' AI model: • Makes real-time image and video processing accessible to end users. • Is trained using a unique dataset with over 15 million visual data points and over 700 classes. • Trains real-time image recognition models. • Works closer to human perception and needs. • Facilitates smart technologies accessing artificial vision solutions.
